Utah State's Max Shulga may be the only basketball player to have a halfcourt shot counted as two points, however briefly.
Shulga's halfcourt heave turned into a bizarre rulebook controversy on Tuesday during a game against Portland State, all thanks to a question of his intent with the shot. As you can see, Shulga seemed to be throwing up an alley-oop for teammate Brandon Horvath, only for the ball to go in:
Per Utah State radio staffer Ajay Salvesen, the officials told Aggies athletic director Kyle Cottam the shot was counted as a 2-pointer because Shulga was attempting a pass, not a field goal.
